[DOCS] Built-in commands table missing /copy command #21141

Description

@coygeek

Documentation Type

Missing documentation (feature not documented)

Documentation Location

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/interactive-mode#built-in-commands

Section/Topic

"Built-in commands" section, specifically the commands table

Current Documentation

The built-in commands table lists commands from /clear to /usage but does not include /copy:

Command Purpose
/clear Clear conversation history
/compact [instructions] Compact conversation with optional focus instructions
... ...
/usage For subscription plans only: show plan usage limits and rate limit status

What's Wrong or Missing?

The /copy command is missing from the built-in commands table. According to the 2.1.20 release notes: "Changed the /copy command to be available to all users."

When running /copy in Claude Code 2.1.20, it shows:

/copy    Copy Claude's last response to clipboard as markdown

This command is now available to all users but is not documented.

Suggested Improvement

Add /copy to the built-in commands table in alphabetical order (between /compact and /config):

Command Purpose
/clear Clear conversation history
/compact [instructions] Compact conversation with optional focus instructions
/copy Copy Claude's last response to clipboard as markdown
/config Open the Settings interface (Config tab)
... ...

Impact

Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand

Additional Context

Total scope: 1 page affected

Related: Claude Code 2.1.20 release notes mention this command was "changed to be available to all users," implying it was previously limited to a subset of users (possibly subscribers only).
